Canada's Alistair Johnston: Our country is under threat, under attack'
Briefly

Jesse Marsch has developed a high-pressure style for the Canadian men's national soccer team, dubbed 'maplepress', which reflects in player Alistair Johnston's tight wedding schedule. Johnston's wedding, set for early June, coincides with crucial games, underscoring his pivotal role in the national team and Celtic FC. With multiple personal and professional milestones achieved, including numerous caps and a trophy-heavy season, Johnston embodies the collaborative spirit of his team's achievements. The upcoming games are also steeped in geopolitical tension, as US political climate impacts the competitive atmosphere.
The style and system Jesse Marsch has moulded for the Canadian men's national team is predicated on pressure; hemming in and harrying opponents until they are deprived of options.
Alistair Johnston, one of the spiritual leaders of Marsch's rapid Canadian revolution over these past 10 months, will tie the knot this summer.
By the time wedding day rolls around he'll have at least one more medal, with Celtic having won the Scottish League Cup and holding a huge lead atop the Scottish Premiership.
Marsch, who last month lashed out at Trump for his 51st state' threats, and his American counterpart Maurico Pochettino tried to sidestep the geopolitics during press conferences.
